We have been watching a lot of movies at my house over the last few weeks. And while it can be fun to watch a favorite you haven’t seen in forever, sometimes they can hit a little too close to home.

That was the case this past weekend, as Amber and I were binge-watching movies. As I reloaded our snacks and drinks, Amber searched for another fave for us to watch. When I returned, on the television was a screenshot for Failure to Launch, and I knew I had just found my topic for this Reality Blogger post!
